When do the courses begin?

Anytime Courses can be started at any time. Tutor-Led and Certificate courses begin on the date listed on our website.

How long are courses?

Courses vary in length from three to six weeks. Please check the course description for each course.

How much do courses cost?

The price of each course is given on the course description page.

What about homework and assignments?

In all courses each lesson will contain several exercises for you to do in your own time as you work through the lesson, the answers to which you will usually be required to post in the course forum. Some Tutor-Led courses have an assessed option (at extra cost), e.g. Are You Sitting Comfortably? Writing and Telling Your Family History, with Janet Few. For those taking assessed certificate courses, there are assignments which must be handed in by a certain time.

How do I register for a course?

Simply pay for your course.

How can I communicate with other students on my course?

You can either post to all students in the course forum, or use the forum to send each other private emails and messages.

Can I register in two courses at once?

Yes, if you feel you have the time to devote to two courses.

What books or supplies will I need?

With the exception of Advanced Certificate courses, most courses do not require you to purchase any extra reading. Make sure you read the course description to see if there is a set text or requirements to subscribe to any websites.

How do I choose a course?

See our guide.

How often are courses repeated?

This varies from course to course and will depend on demand for the course as well as the tutor’s other commitments.
